[staviq]

Freshly installed trough steam, first start of the game, OSX 10.13.2

Try 1 or 1 and 4 from here: 9300.

I have basically done the same by changing settings on my second pc and checking what changes in the config, then manually changed config on the mac.

This helped, but in my opinion this is still a bug, you should not have to modify config files manually on the first ever start of the game.

If i may suggest, in the crash handler you could add a popup window asking if you want to restart the game with minimal settings.

Hi, could you please post here log from the latest version? We have made some improvements in VRAM size detection on OSX in 0.16.13, so I want to check if it worked.
If it does, you should get proper default options, and it shouldn't crash anymore on fresh install.

I have removed (moved) whole ~/Library/(...)/factorio so it starts with default settings, and it started without a crash, but it still thinks i have loads of vram:




EDIT:

So i have found this in the game log:

0.060 Failed to determine VRAMSize from IOKit
0.060 Dedicated video memory size 0 MB

But i have no problem reading video momery size:



I suspect your solution has problems detecting dynamic vram, but it's just a guess.

Hi, please mark as closed.

I have just realized while testing something else, that by clearing factorio folder i have caused experimantal updates to be disabled as they are disabled by default and have completely missed the fact that i'm still on 0.16.12.

I have retested with the latest version and vram is detected properly.

Code: Select all

   0.067 Initialised OpenGL:[0] Intel HD Graphics 3000 OpenGL Engine; driver: 2.1 INTEL-10.4.14
   0.068   Dedicated video memory size 512 MB
   0.184 Graphics settings preset: medium-with-low-vram

I'm sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for letting me know. It also shows 0.16.12 on the screenshot you posted, so I should have noticed
